Description

Two separate routes that when linked together make for a classic outing. Begin on the Snake Face just left of the arete formed by it and the Face of a Thousand Pitons.

P1: Climb the steep corners up to a nice ledge at a bolted anchor.

P2: Step off the belay and climb the right-facing flakes straight up to bolt anchors.

From this point you have a two options to continue:  Move right and finish on Marshall's/Cottonmouth.  Move out left and follow the left leaning upper crack of The Viper to the anchors at the top of Old Man's Route.

Protection

Standard rack.
